A FALSE pRETeNsE TRADE MARK.


WASHINGTON CITY, July 19-The commits
sioner Of patents has rendered an important
de- 'islon in the case of an application for the
registration of a trade mark for distilled spir-
It's in which the words knights of Labor and
X. of l. Distillery" appear The commits
sioner states that there is no preteuse that the
manufacturers of this particular brand of
whisky, who apply for the trade mark, are
Knights of Labor or are engaged in business
with them, or under their auspices; vet the
trade mark points dlstinctively to this labor
organization or to the members as a class as
the origin of the ownership of the articles to
which it Is applied In other words, this trade
mark is in the nature Of false representa-
ton and deception as to the general public,
Inducing them to purchase and deal with the
article under the belief that it is the article
or manufacture Of another person or "A class
of persons from whom they prefer tn buy
The commissioner, therefore, on the ground
OF the false pretenses Of such a trade mar L.

THE insolence of puTse-bOund man
was never more glaringly displayed than
in a remark made by Broker Ponder in a
New York court the other day. When
asked if certain person was dead, Pom
der replied that che was as good as dead
that he was poorw Broker Ponder is not
alone In his belief, but those who share it
do not as rule express themselves with
Ponder's frankness. Too many of our
people take this view of life. Let US see
what it does for them 1t leads them to
take money dishonesty. 1t fills our pen
it6ntiaries with thieves, and swells the
stream of fugitives all the time pouring
into Canada 1t corrupts legislation JUS
tce and society. II raises artificial bar
siers that keep the poor out of the
churches II makes men hunt up
temptation instead of stunning it 1t
saps the very foundation OF social moral
ity and good government. If the poor
man is as good as dead, is the rich man
any better off? Not many months ago
JAY Gould, in one of his softer moods.
told a newspaper man that his happiesi
days were those when he was a bare
footed farmers boy. The hard million,
aire drew an idyllic picture of country
life, and 1t was evident that he meant
what be said He knew that there were
Joys in the life of the honest and indus
trious poor man that were far beyond his
reach. and he openly admitted it. II is
to be hoped that our young men will not
accept the views of Broker Ponder. II
they will do their duty IN this world they
will fl themselves for ncbler things than
mere money-getting, and their final re-
ward will fill their measure of happiness

CHICAG0'S DEATH ROLL.

OF THE PAST WEEK.

Over One Hundred and Sixty Deaths
Known to Have Been Caused by Insoia-
tion in Three Days-The Fatal Work still
Going on Eisewhere-Many Victims at
Philadelphia aud Other Cities
CHICAGO, july ia complete census OF
the mortality in Chicago caused by the lately
existing hot weather will probably never be
made The full story of the suffering en-
tailed by il never be told. II is doubtful if
the citizens realize yet what calamity il
was, and how dreadful its results. A glance,
however, at the books of the coroner's office,
with their long list of entries, each one tell
ing of a sudden death, and a look into the
morgue, where bodies lie piled like coldwoed,
waiting until official action will permit their
burial, heat finte witness to the terrible eff
feet of the heat plague. With few excep-
lions it has t,een possible to gather the list of
those whose death is directly Attributable to
sunstroke, but the number OF those
attacked, who more ksss mar
rowly escaped dissolution, not be
known. How many there were who
died and whose death was attributed to other
causes than sunstfoke, but who would pro
badly have recovered from their then exist
ing ailments had il not been for the prostra-
ton caused by the intense i,eltt, will always
remain Il eon1Hirum But putting aside all
these questions the single list OF those whose
| death is attributed solely 70 heat is a suffi
GENTLY awful record. The following table

I ade, passed us and saluted Longstreet. Gar nett was warm personal friend and we had 1 not met before for months. We had served on the plains together before the war. rode with him short distance and then we wished each other luck and good bye, which was our last.
 "Then l rode down the line of guns, se- lecting such as had enough ammunition to follow Pickett's advance, and starting them after him es fast as possible. I got, think, fifteen or eighteen in all in little while and went with them. Meanwhile the infantry had no sooner debouched on the plain than all the enemy's line, which had been nearly silent, broke out again with all it's batteries. The eighteen guns were back in the cemete- ry and storm of shell began bursting over and among our infantry. All of our guns, silent as the infantry passed between them reopened when the lines had got couple of hundred yards away, but the enemy's artil- lery let us alone and fired only at the infan- try. No one could have looked at that ad- vance without feeling proud of it.
 "But as our supporting guns advanced we passed many poor mangled victims left in it's trampled wake. A terrific infantry fire was now opened upon Pickett, and consid- erable force of the enemy moved out to at- tack the right flank of his line. We halted, unlimbered and opened fire upon it. Pick ett's men never halted, but opened fire at close range, swarmed over the fences and among the enemys guns, were swallowed up in smoke-and that was the last of them The conflict hardly seemed to last five min utes before they were melted away, and only disorganized stragglers were coming back pursued by moderate fire. Just then Will cox's brigade passed by us, moving to Pick ett's support. There was no longer anything to support, and with the keenest pity at the useless waste of life I saw them advance. The men as they passed us looked bewil- deied, as if they wondered what they were expected to do or why they were there. They were soon, however, halted and moved back"

He said that he would drill down after coal on the farm, and if he did not find it he would charge nothing. If he was suc- oessful he was to be paid $6,000. Logan thought it was good offer and accepted it.
